Baltoy and Claydol

Claydol doesn’t really have much to boast about. Overall, its stats are simply average. Call it a “good enough” Pokémon if you will. With a max CP of mere 1782 and ATK (140), we shouldn’t expect much out this Pokémon. As a consolation, Claydol does have rather high DEF (236).

Claydol in the Pokémon GO meta

Seeing that Claydol is the Pokémon family known to have a very interesting ground and psychic type and such low Max CP, it’s a little disappointing that Claydol will not live up to the expectations what the cartoons have created. It is what is — a big boring Pokémon clay pot.

Keep in mind that Claydol is a good match against fighting, poison, rock and other psychic type opponents. So at the and Claydol can be usefull but you will most likely find alot better options.
